Big Migration tonight!

Posted on 3/30/2006 by David La Puma

It’s happening all across the east coast- a huge migration event, the first great one of the season! I’ll post the radar in the morning, but Garret Mt., Sandy Hook, Cape May…yeah, they’ll have birds.

Good Birding :)

    Yep! Another big movement tonight. There do not seem to be as many birds coming up through Texas as last night. Still virtually nothing out of Cuba. KBYX shows mostly a bunch of chaff trails. So much for my predictions! I thought there would be a lot of birds moving across the straits tonight…

    Go here:
    http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/radar/
    Enter the following…
    End Date: Today (or 3/31/06)
    End Time: Most Recent (unless you’re reading this in the morning, in which case you should choose 8am, which would be 3am EST).
    Loop Duration: 6 Hours (6:30pm is sunset, so try and get close to this)

    Choose Regional Reflectivity for the “Product”, and then click on New Jersey.

    You should get a view of the NE region from around sunset until 3am this morning.

    Now I have to sleep so I can bird tomorrow…
